1. Daily Life
in the UK

2. The pubs close early, but then there are the clubs, which is
heard in every style of music, and of course, music that was
born in the UK: drum & bass, London house, trip hop and
punk to the more nostalgic .
In everyday life, the activity
declines rapidly with the arrival of
the night. Around 5 pm, the event
is in the pub, a place of conviviality
and meeting, or even the
opportunity to enjoy a cup of tea
(with milk please).

very good; the train, from his privatization it is not the very
practical one and is costly; the bus (National express) is
